The house is an old house that I had renovated around 3 years ago, and I am constantly improving and adding or changing things to make it better and more suitable. The house is absolutely loved by children as the hidden spaces gives them the idea that they are princes or princesses.

The Gremos house has 2 seperate bedrooms, 1 with a double bed, and one with a bunk bed. The living room has 2 high raised wooden handcarved platform on which a double and a single matress are placed. This is not suitable for less mobile and flexible people. Both these beds are reachable through it's own stairs, and have a seperation and curtains in front of it for privacy.

The house is an old house that I had renovated around 3 years ago, and I am constantly improving and adding or changing things to make it better and more suitable. The house is absolutely loved by children as the hidden spaces gives them the idea that they are princes or princesses.

The Gremos house has 2 seperate bedrooms, 1 with a double bed, and one with a bunk bed. The living room has 2 high raised wooden handcarved platform on which a double and a single matress are placed. This is not suitable for less mobile and flexible people. Both these beds are reachable through it's own stairs, and have a seperation and curtains in front of it for privacy. The floor, the wooden ceiling, the arch and the platforms (pataras) are the most typical features of an original Greek, Koskinou house. I have added a sky light for more light and therefore more joy. I chose for this house for a lot of colors on a white basis.

Reachable through the courtyard are the kitchen and the bathroom, both basic but complete and sufficient. the courtyard can also be used for morning breakfast, but just outside of the house, the car free street is used often to have breakfast in the midst of a greek neighborhood. For real dining one can move to the first roof terrace with a dining area and umbrella.

Going further up, one reaches the big roof terrace with a sitting area with matresses and pillows (sometimes used to sleep outside as well), it's sun loungers and the outside shower.

Both roof terraces are covered with flowers, and if one cannot have a happy time in this house, one is not likely to have a happy time anywhere. All that have stayed here have loved it, except for one time when the people were old and i didn't know about it. The narrow stairs are an obstacle for immobile or inflexible people and i will strongly disadvice on renting it. For people with small children, the house has never been a problem. on the top roof terraces there is a gate, and on the down courtyard, we can place an obstacle so that the small ones, will not go onto the stairs.

The most magnificent part of the house is the floor in the living room. It is called chochlakia, and was made in the 19th century, long after the house was built. The pebbles for this floor, all had to have the same size, and were hand picked from the beach, then taken to the house with a donkey, and then hand laid stone for stone in the wonderful mosaic pattern that you can see on the pictures. The house is located in a residential area, but has no touching neighbors on both sides. The old village of Koskinou remained undiscovered by the majority of tourists, and therefor left unspoilt and authentic.The village has all one would need for a perfect holiday, 3 butchers, some super markets, a creperie, 1 bar, 2 snack bars and 5 really great restaurants, where people know us, and take good care of our guests.

There are some things, that cannot be placed in this booking system, so i will put them down here:

* there is a final cleaning fee of 90 euros. * there is optional airco available, 2 devices of 5 euros each, so 10 euros per night for the airco.

if these costs can't be placed into the bookings, i will have to charge them locally.

I booked the house through Gudrun and it was easy. The house was amazing and spotlessly clean. The hire car was waiting for me as arranged with Gudrun and the welcome pack had everything we needed and more. The only thing I could have done...More

About the neighborhood

The area of Gremos house is as the name is translated in GreeK: cliff. it lies on the cliff area at the side of the village. Gremos house has no touching direct neighbors as the houses are inhabited and so one has a lot of privacy. It is not possible to drive exactly in front of the doorstep, but a bit further one can park the car, and walk the stairs down to the house.

In front of the house is a grass field and one can kick a ball or 2. The neighborhood is very friendly and the people around the house, always like to see the house rented as they still have the old attitude to welcome strangers and to exchange a friendly good morning.

How to get there

Airport: diagoras rhodes: 15.5 mi

Ferry: limani rhodes: 5.0 mi

If you just come out of the airport you turn left direction Rhodes/Faliraki?Lindos. Then at the traffic lights you turn to the right towards Faliraki/Lindos/rhodes. You drive all the way until the total end and then at the traffic lights you turn left towards Rhodes. After a short while there is a sign writing Koskinou (the first real exit), there you turn to the right to go to Koskinou. You follow the curvy road all the way up until the end (you pass a kiosk on the right hand side and on the left you pass by a small supermarket and the Ice cream shop called dolce di villagio). Here at the end you come onto a T-split (like a small roundabout), there you turn left. At the end you pass the stadium which is on the left and you see a big stone wall, which is of the school square, you also le...

Here at the end you come onto a T-split (like a small roundabout), there you turn left. At the end you pass the stadium which is on the left and you see a big stone wall, which is of the school square, you also leave this left, so you pass it on the right. You go all the way up until you can go no further, at the end you follow the road to the left and you pass the church building. You continue and at the left corner you see a snack bar and at the right, some rocks or stones. You enter this street. (you also pass a small spring tap at he right). It is a rather narrow street, but you can easily go in here. At the end it turns a bit to the left and immediately in front of you (at your right hand side), you see a parking space. That is where you park the car. if you look at the right then you can already easily see the ocer yellow house and a grass field in front of it with a tree as you look down. You go down the stairs and there is the house. The key will be on top of the electricity box.After you arrive in the house, please text me that you have arrived, so that i can go off guard. If you wish to get info or talk to me, you can text me on my mobile phone, and i will call you back on your house phone. iIwill not answer the text messages on my cell/mobile phone, unless they are urgent.

important points of attention: 1. in greece the toilet paper has to be thrown in the bin right with the toilet. PLEASE NO PAPER IN THE TOILET. the system will get blocked otherwise, and then we will place the costs on your account, so please pay attention to this. if you have children, please mention it a few times, and again when you are in the house. 2. the small pebbles are sensitive: please do not drag or roll your suitcases on this floor. 3. in greece there is a siesta time from 14:30 - 17:30. in this period, by law there has to be silence out on the street, so that people can rest before they go to work again. please don't leave your children out to play on the streets or courtyards or gardens. instead maybe go to the beach at this time or maybe take a nap yourselves. after all: you are on holidays :-)The key will be on top of the electricity box. there is a thin line carved into the key. this is to show you until where you have to stick the key in the hole. please text me as soon as you are in the house, so that i know that you have arrived safely.
